Eddy County Sheriff's Office found probable cause against Ana Juarez

A Carlsbad woman accused of second degree murder told investigators the victim may have confused their friendship for a relationship, according to a criminal complaint filed in Eddy County Magistrate Court.

The complaint was filed late last month and alleged Ana Rodriguez shot Alberto G. Parraz after the two used meth and had an argument.

Eddy County Sheriff Mark Cage said deputies were called to the 1600 block of Burgundy on Oct. 25 where Parraz was found unconscious and not breathing.

In the complaint Rodriguez told investigators that she and Parraz “were best friends.”

“Specifically, she would help clean his house and help him clean his yard. Ana said after a little while of them being around each other “Albie” got obsessed with her and started to think they were in a relationship,” the complaint read.

Rodriguez allegedly told investigators that she was in possession of the gun used in the shooting.
